Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 70 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
35 of 57 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 89 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 38 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 70 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
76 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.00 per match at 16.8, economy 4.99, strike rate 20.2.
